In Buddhism

Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)

The Bodhisatta was once an ascetic who,
at the moment of his death, said neither conscious nor unconscious. His chief
disciple interpreted these words, but the others would not believe him until the
Bodhisatta descended from the Brahma world in order to uphold his explanation.

The story was related in reference to an
explanation given by Sariputta at Sankassa (J.i.473).

This Jataka is probably also called the
Anangana Jataka (q.v.).
